Pros

Health benefits are robust and good for individuals and families.

Cons

ECCO USA does not follow the "nice" work culture that ECCO Sko has in its headquarters in Denmark. The US does not get even close to the same amount of holidays or benefits and often the US is picking up the slack from DK being out all the time. From 2016-2017 a large number of people have been laid off or quit in the US main office and those who are left are often made to work 3-4 people's worth of work and literally worked to tears. In my time here I've seen literally at least a dozen people break down in tears at one time or another because they're being overworked and they know management doesn't care as long as the company can meet sales numbers. Employees in all departments are stretched thin with little hope that things will ever improve. Some are here working 10-12 hour days for weeks on end and management gets away with doing very little and getting paid way too much. Also only a lucky few throughout the business in the US actually get opportunities to grow in their roles, you're either lucky enough to be in a good department or suck up to your manager so much that they have no choice but to recommend you to be pushed up the company ladder. Most will stay in their same roles for years on end without any opportunity, advancement or raises. ECCO USA is not a company I'd recommend anybody to work for as they don't know how to treat employees well at all and it's an ever-revolving door of people being hired, fired or quitting all the time because of it.

Good management. They train you quite thoroughly. Friendly environment!

Cons

Repetitiveness. We didn't get good shipment sometimes and bulk buyers made selling difficult.
